A widespread investigation into a corruption scheme between coaches at NCAA Division-1 basketball programs, an international apparel company, and financial advisors led to the arrest of 10 men on Tuesday, according to an announcement [text] by an acting US Attorney and an FBI [government websites] assistant director.

Although he has not been arrested or named in any of the complaints, University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino [official profile] was “ousted” by the program on Wednesday [NYT report] in response to the team’s alleged involvement with the scheme. Federal prosecutors have accused two unidentified Louisville coaches of accepting bribes from Adidas to steer high school recruits to the program. Louisville interim president Greg Postel said [press release] the University would cooperate with the ongoing FBI investigation.

Pitino was placed on unpaid administrative leave indefinitely, a move his attorney characterized [statement, Twitter] as being “in effect … fired.” At this time, it is unclear if charges will be brought against Pitino who, through his attorney, has maintained his innocence. The program was recently sanctioned for a scandal [Deadspin report] involving the use of prostitutes at dorm parties in an effort to recruit players.
